Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Jesus fucking Christ what have you Americans gotten yourselves into? Do we need to pop across the pond and sort you out again?
Yes please. The sooner the better
+1, I'll make cookies.
I think you mean biscuits.
I'll call them whatever you want -- Kekse, galletas, piškotki -- if you help us get rid of the fascists.
But personally I'll always associate the word 'biscuit' with this.
I need to re-binge-watch that show again, Dylan Moran makes me quiver
Dude this is everyone in MAGA country. It's so fuckin bad. I had a client rant unprompted to me about Biden and electric cars for a half hour on Friday.
My ass is moving to the UK ASAP. Helps when your spouse is from there.
This fucker is like an IRL Michel Scott
"Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and I don’t know where it’s going. I just hope to find it somewhere along the way. Like an improv conversation. An improversation."
Sometimes I'll start a sentence and then I will be able and not to do with him and being able for the best to make us feel like we are the only one that has a lot to say otherwise we will have a lot more time for you guys and we will see if they are going on about the show
I’d ask for rescue, but your Supreme Court just ruled that I shouldn’t be allowed to piss anywhere at all because a mediocre children’s author is apparently a kingmaker now. Maybe y’all should prioritize taking care of your own homegrown fascists? This is sorta “there but for the grace of god go I” except yall also did stupid shit like Brexit.
I'd like just one of these fuckers talking about what Biden "did to this country" have to explain themselves in a forum where it's moderated. A forum where they cannot get away with magabrained fanfic like "the autopen" or "Hunter's harddrive, oops, I mean 'laptop'".
I keep hearing these dumbfucks saying this and Biden had everything going quite well domestically and headed in even better directions. This dumbass came in and broke everything again.
So I would love to see them called on their claims and have to answer the question - just what was so bad about Biden, exactly?
The media is totally out to lunch. I watched HitlerPig in a few different interviews bragging about the cost of gasoline being only $2, and not one "journalist" challenged that assertion. Where is it $2? What state? I travel the entire East Coast for work, and I haven't seen gas below $2.50 since the peak of Covid.
I'm in Florida, and it cycles between $2.90 and $3.20 on a predictable cycle. It's about $2.95 today, and it will be at $2.89 by the weekend, then jump to $3.20 next Monday or Tuesday, guaranteed. The cheapest gas on the East Coast is always South Carolina, and I haven't seen it below $2.60, and it's usually in in the $2.80s.
So $2? Where?
Well it was this or a woman.
Pretty hard choice for them.
Whole lotta people that should know better stayed home, too. Also, a lot of people still bleating out nonsense, even now, about "both sides" and talking about "shitlibs" and GenocideJoe and so on.
Why are you supporting genocide?
^ Sigh. Exactly the silly kind of talking points I was talking about.
I listen to TYT, and it seems they are even still, as donvict is ramping up to have the military attack Americans, spending an awful lot of time talking about Gaza. This, after they have already spent quite a lot of energy on it as if it's the only thing going on in the world. Yes, Gaza is terrible, and almost none of our citizens love it that our government is funding Israel, but meanwhile, our country is falling into fascism and all too often there are elements among liberals that keep playing the stupid bothsiderist game and seem to lose perspective.
Would Biden/Kamala immediately have fixed things when it comes to Gaza? Doubtful. But with donvict, we have both Gaza AND our country's very future in jeopardy. Pretending it's "both sides" is nothing short of brain-dead.
